    Drunk 
    Verse 1
    men 
    stagger, 

    drunk 
    men 
    fall 

    Drunk 
    men 
    swear 
    and 
    that's 
    not 
    all 

    Quite 
    often 
    they 
    will 
    urinate 

    out
    doors 

    Verse 2

    Like 
    widowed 
    women, 
    drunk 
    men 
    weep 

    Like 
    children 
    curled 
    up, 
    drunk 
    men 
    sleep 

    Like 
    a 
    dog, 

    a drunk 
    will 
    crawl 
    around 
    on 
    all 
    fours 

    Verse 3

    Be 
    he 
    broke 
    bum 
    or 
    rich 
    rake 

    His 
    dinner 
    be 
    it bread 
    or 
    cake 

    His 
    beverage 
    be 
    the 
    worse 
    of 
    whiskey, 

    finest 
    wine 

    Verse 4

    Puke 
    it 
    stinks 
    and 
    so 
    it seems 

    That 
    drunkards 
    go 
    to great 
    ex
    tremes 

    But 
    there 
    has 
    yet 
    to 
    be 
    a 
    perfectly 

    straight 
    high 

    Verse 5

    Drunk
    s talk 
    strong 
    when 

    drunks 
    are weak 

    It's 
    easy 
    for 
    a 
    drunk 
    to 
    speak 

    Straight 
    from 
    the 
    heart 

    Verse 6

    Yeah, 
    drunks 
    will 
    fight 

    they're 
    not 
    afraid 

    They'll 
    kiss 
    the mistress 

    and 
    make 
    the maid 

    It's 
    a 
    manly 
    art 

    Verse 7

    Oh, 
    but 
    big 
    toll 
    will 
    take 

    Blood 
    ves
    sels 
    in 
    nose 
    will 
    break 

    Bags 
    beneath 
    the 
    eyes, 

    an
    other 
    sign 

    Verse 8

    Drunks 
    get 
    ugly, 
    so 
    it 
    seems 

    That 
    drunkards 
    go 
    to 
    great 
    extremes 

    But 
    there 
    has 
    yet 
    to 
    be 
    a 
    perfectly 
    straight 

    line 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 9
    Drunks 
    are 
    friendly 
    when 

    they're 
    drunk 
    and 

    Drunks 
    are 
    hostile 
    when 
    they're 
    drunk 

    Which 
    drunk 
    it 
    is, 

    it 
    all 
    depends 
    upon 

    Verse 10

    When 
    drunks 
    aren't 
    drunk, 

    they 
    thirst 
    for 
    drink 

    And 
    the 
    elephants 
    are 
    grey, 
    not 
    pink 

    And 
    the 
    drink 
    evaporates 
    the 
    man 
    is 
    gone, 

    gone, 
    gone, 
    gone 

    Verse 11
    Back 
    to 
    the 
    yacht
    s 
    and 

    the subway 
    cars 

    To 
    the 
    hip 
    flasks 
    and 
    fruit 
    jars 

    Flat 
    on 
    the 
    face 
    and 
    flat 
    on 
    the 
    behind 

    Verse 12

    Oh, 
    drunks 
    get 
    drunk 
    and 
    so 
    it 
    seems 

    That 
    drunkards 
    go 
    to 
    great 
    extremes 

    But 
    there 
    has 
    yet 
    to 
    be 
    a 

    perfectly 
    straight 
    line 

    Straight 
    line 

    Straight 
    line

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
